VisionMercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First LookLast year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof
Last year, Mercedes wowed us all with an electric coupe concept it called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. While the name was a bit of a clunker, everything else about it was pure elegance. It was nearly 19 feet long, almost all hood, and rode in silence thanks to its electric powertrain. The Vision 6 is back at Pebble Beach this year, this time without its roof.
In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who’s driving. Instead of last year’s red, it’s been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels. Rims that size would look massive on most other cars, but the Vision 6 Cabriolet is so impossibly long, it actually makes 2 feet of wheel look appropriate. Of course, since this is a Maybach concept we’re talking about, the center lock is painted in rose gold. That’s not the only gold decorating the exterior, either. The fabric top also has rose gold threads woven in to match.
Inside, the driver is treated to what Mercedes calls a “360° open-air luxury lounge.” As you can see, the cabin is designed to flow around the occupants, wrapping them in luxury. There aren’t even really separate seats. Instead, the driver’s door panel almost seamlessly transitions into the seat bottom, then into the armrest, the passenger seat, and finally the passenger door panel. And there’s no infotainment screen integrated into the dash, either. Instead, the display is part of a strip that encircles the cabin. The dials and air conditioning vents contrast with the rest of the futuristic interior, using analog needles and classic design cues.
There’s also a sea of white Nappa leather covering almost every surface you might touch. The buttons used to secure the leather to the seats, for example, each have a Mercedes star on them backlit in blue. Oh, and of course the trim pieces are made from rose gold. The floor is covered in open-pore wood and inlaid aluminum to continue the boat theme that the car’s massive length and shape started. The transparent center tunnel, meanwhile, uses blue fiber optics to remind occupants that they’re in an electric land yacht from the future.
Speaking of the Vision 6 Cabriolet’s electric powertrain, it’s even more powerful than the coupe. Instead of 738 hp, it now makes a full 750 hp. Despite the car’s incredible size, Mercedes says that’s enough to hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. It also has a claimed range of more than 200 miles and supposedly gains 60 miles of range on only a five-minute charge.
Interior: 360° open-air luxury lounge
With the luxurious interior of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz demonstrates a new synthesis of intelligence and emotion. At the same time, the designers have combined the unique tradition of the brand with a previously unknown high-tech experience.
The generous, flowing design idiom brings exterior and interior together in a holistic design. The formal flow of the areas from the rear into the interior gives rise to a typical yacht feeling. A light wing flows in a curve across the door trim and the center tunnel into the seat landscape, creating a 360° open-air luxury lounge.
The new "inside out" spatial design adds a particularly special feature. The sitting surface forms a horizontal plane, transitions into the vertical plane of the doors and finally becomes the underside of the dashboard wing.
In addition to the flowing contours, the material composition produces a luxury experience of the highest order. Here, too, the interplay of the contrasts is both hot and cool. The brand's hallmark authentic materials and colors are used, such as rose gold on the trim elements, or the surfaces which come into contact with the skin, featuring a lavish, quilted crystal white nappa leather finish. In this luxury technique, familiar among other things from Chesterfield furniture, the leather is put into folds in a diamond pattern and secured to the frame with buttons. In the case of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, this traditional seat upholstery boasts a futuristic interpretation: each individual button of the quilting depicts a delicate Mercedes star, backlit in blue. The open-pore wood floor with inlaid aluminum underscores the lounge sensation and the connection to yachting.

I got to drive the world's first car (replica), patented by Benz in 1886
Check out the series on new safety features: http://ve42.co/MB
This video is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, who invited me to come to Stuttgart to see their latest cars, crash test facilities and experience the innovations they are working on.
Physics is something that is directly applicable to car safety. Cars go fast, but they also sometimes collide with obstacles, which brings them to a sudden stop, subjecting the car and occupants to very high accelerations, which can cause injury or death. So the major idea to improve car safety is to reduce these accelerations and there are a number of ways to do this:
Passive safety:
Seat belts: keep passengers in the vehicle, preventing them from continuing with constant velocity, flying through the windshield and suffering a worse deceleration when they make contact with the road.
Crumple zones: increase the distance over which deceleration occurs, thereby reducing peak magnitude of deceleration.
Air bags: increase the distance over which the head decelerates, again reducing peak magnitude of deceleration of the head.
Active Safety:
Anti-lock braking system: rather than 'locking' the wheels as can happen if you slam on the brakes with a traditional braking system leading to the tires skidding across the road, ABS attempts to control the amount of braking so that the tires always roll with static friction in contact with the road. This increases the backward frictional force that can be applied to the tires, again increasing the distance over which deceleration occurs, and it gives the driver an opportunity to steer to avoid the collision (hence why it's referred to as an active safety system).
Special thanks to Mercedes for having me visit facilities in Stuttgart. I had a lot of fun making these videos so please do check out the series on Mercedes Benz's channel: http://ve42.co/MB

COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA — A 22-year-old allegedly crashed her new Mercedes Benz into a cyclist in a DUI hit-and-run — just hours after she reportedly boasted about the car on Instagram.
According to the Orange County Register, the accident occurred around 11 p.m. in Costa Mesa when a cyclist was wounded after a car struck him. Police told the newspaper that the cyclist suffered leg wounds but was able to describe the car.
The cops reportedly tracked down the car, which belongs to Aya Ibish, a few blocks away and found it to have crash damage consistent with the accident. The cops say they performed a roadside sobriety check on Ibish, which we’re guessing she failed because she was later arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and felony DUI causing injury.
She called the car her “new pride and joy” in the now deleted Instagram post, notes an Google Translated article on Autoblog.nl, a Dutch car site that appears to be the only news site to have saved the photo of Ibish with the Mercedes before her post was deleted

2017 Mercedes E-ClassCrashTest - Better than five stars
The E-Class's occupant safety, child safety, pedestrian protection and assistance systems have been awarded a five-star EuroNCAP rating. The Saloon was a particularly deserving recipient of this top rating since in the crash tests in all four categories it significantly outperformed the standard required by Euro NCAP in order to attain the top score of five stars.
CategoryResult E-Class Five-star cut-off
Occupant safety 95% 80%
Child safety 90% 75%
Pedestrian protection 77% 60%
Assistance systems 62% 50%
The E-Class Saloon also achieved two Euro NCAP "Advanced" awards for PRE‑SAFE® and ATTENTION ASSIST – both awards go beyond the star rating and underline particular safety innovations.
The E-Class Saloon owes these impressive results primarily to the combination of its high-strength passenger safety cell with highly effective restraint systems and the large number of driver assistance systems on board. Active Brake Assist, for example, is a standard feature. It is able to warn the driver of impending collisions, provide support with emergency braking and, if necessary, apply the brakes autonomously. Likewise included as standard are ATTENTION ASSIST with adjustable sensitivity, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness, and Crosswind Assist.
Other driver assistance systems are available as an option, including DRIVEPILOT, which marks a further milestone on the road to automated driving, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function. Some of these optional systems, however, have not yet been taken into consideration in the Euro NCAP assessment.
Active and passive safety are intelligently combined with the PRE-SAFE® system, which is able to recognise critical situations on the road and, where there is the threat of an accident, trigger preventive measures to protect the occupants. PRE‑SAFE® ImpulseSide is available as an option for the E-Class for the first time. If it detects the immediate threat of a lateral collision, this new subsystem is able to move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone as a preventive measure, effectively creating a virtual crumple zone for the side of the vehicle. Another new feature is the standard PRE-SAFE® Sound system. Immediately before a collision it can trigger a natural protective reflex in the ear, preparing the occupants for the noise of the accident in order to reduce potential damage to their hearing.
Mercedes-Benz takes the protection of more vulnerable road users such as children very seriously. This also applies to pedestrians and cyclists. The E-Class Saloon features an active bonnet which can be raised 80 millimetres during an impact to provide additional deformation space. In addition Active Brake Assist is not only able to recognise slow-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles but also pedestrians crossing in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and can brake autonomously to prevent a collision with a pedestrian. With features such as these, the E-Class's impressive pedestrian protection standards far exceed statutory requirements.
The E-Class Saloon's success in the Euro NCAP rating is the result of Mercedes‑Benz's holistic safety philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on rating requirements, the company uses findings from its own accident research to develop internal test standards and test criteria that go beyond what is required by law.

Those arrogant cocks at Mercedes-Benz: Unbelievable. How would you expect to be treated, as an S-Class owner?
http://autoexpert.com.au/buying-a-car/mercedes-benz-bs-class
This is a report about corporate arseholes, arrogance and audacity; about the apparent presumption that selling the three-pointed star means you just don’t have to comply with Australian Consumer Law. It’s about regulatory soft-cockedness, too, if that’s a word, and the disconnection between the prick-tease promise of marketing and the grim reality of ownership. It’s why the Mercedes-Benz brand will continue to be little more than an A-grade confidence trick in Australia in 2017, and a soft target in my jihad on bullshit.
Two weeks before Christmas, a Perth-based Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner named Jan Gunnink contacted me. Mr Gunnink’s S-Class suffered an engine mount failure, causing the vehicle to vibrate severely. He wrote:
“This is for a 2011 S-Class that has travelled only 48,000km. The cost of repairs will be $1300. Still waiting for the engine mount as none of them are in Australia. The dealership told me it is out of warranty and they made a GOODWILL request with the importer, but Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific refused. Not good enough for a $250,000 car. Where do I go from here?”
Three weeks later Mr Gunnink got back to me after making independent representations to Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific. Here’s part of their response:
“...MBAuP is unable to accede to your request to cover the cost associated to your vehicle’s repairs. We recognise you may remain dissatisfied with this outcome as we are unable to meet your expectations. We hope that you will understand that whilst we wish to retain all existing customers and provide the highest level of aftersales case, MBAuP is unable to cover all operating expenses beyond the manufacturer’s warranty terms and condition.”
Watch the report to find out why this is an epic failure.

A general distinction can be made between (a) civil lawjurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.

VisionMercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First LookLast year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof
Last year, Mercedes wowed us all with an electric coupe concept it called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. While the name was a bit of a clunker, everything else about it was pure elegance. It was nearly 19 feet long, almost all hood, and rode in silence thanks to its electric powertrain. The Vision 6 is back at Pebble Beach this year, this time without its roof.
In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who’s driving. Instead of last year’s red, it’s been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels.

Of course, since this is a Maybach concept we’re talking about, the center lock is painted in rose gold. That’s not the only gold decorating the exterior, either. The fabric top also has rose gold threads woven in to match.
Inside, the driver is treated to what Mercedes calls a “360° open-air luxury lounge.” As you can see, the cabin is designed to flow around the occupants, wrapping them in luxury. There aren’t even really separate seats. Instead, the driver’s door panel almost seamlessly transitions into the seat bottom, then into the armrest, the passenger seat, and finally the passenger door panel. And there’s no infotainment screen integrated into the dash, either. Instead, the display is part of a strip that encircles the cabin. The dials and air conditioning vents contrast with the rest of the futuristic interior, using analog needles and classic design cues.
There’s also a sea of white Nappa leather covering almost every surface you might touch. The buttons used to secure the leather to the seats, for example, each have a Mercedes star on them backlit in blue. Oh, and of course the trim pieces are made from rose gold. The floor is covered in open-pore wood and inlaid aluminum to continue the boat theme that the car’s massive length and shape started. The transparent center tunnel, meanwhile, uses blue fiber optics to remind occupants that they’re in an electric land yacht from the future.
Speaking of the Vision 6 Cabriolet’s electric powertrain, it’s even more powerful than the coupe. Instead of 738 hp, it now makes a full 750 hp. Despite the car’s incredible size, Mercedes says that’s enough to hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds.

http://autoexpert.com.au/buying-a-car/mercedes-benz-bs-class
This is a report about corporate arseholes, arrogance and audacity; about the apparent presumption that selling the three-pointed star means you just don’t have to comply with Australian Consumer Law. It’s about regulatory soft-cockedness, too, if that’s a word, and the disconnection between the prick-tease promise of marketing and the grim reality of ownership. It’s why the Mercedes-Benz brand will continue to be little more than an A-grade confidence trick in Australia in 2017, and a soft target in my jihad on bullshit.
Two weeks before Christmas, a Perth-based Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner named Jan Gunnink contacted me. Mr Gunnink’s S-Class suffered an engine mount failure, causing the vehicle to vibrate severely. He wrote:
“This is for a 2011 S-Class that has travelled only 48,000km. The cost of repairs will be $1300. Still waiting for the engine mount as none of them are in Australia. The dealership told me it is out of warranty and they made a GOODWILL request with the importer, but Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific refused. Not good enough for a $250,000 car. Where do I go from here?”
Three weeks later Mr Gunnink got back to me after making independent representations to Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific. Here’s part of their response:
“...MBAuP is unable to accede to your request to cover the cost associated to your vehicle’s repairs. We recognise you may remain dissatisfied with this outcome as we are unable to meet your expectations. We hope that you will understand that whilst we wish to retain all existing customers and provide the highest level of aftersales case, MBAuP is unable to cover all operating expenses beyond the manufacturer’s warranty terms and condition.”
Watch the report to find out why this is an epic failure.

Mercedes-AMG's new F1 car is officially street legal.
The Project One can hit 124 mph in less than six seconds. When the car hits the market in 2020, it'll cost $2.7 million when.
Project One is built around a hybrid electric and gas engine that utilizes technology from championship F1 cars. It has more than 1,000 horsepower and can reach speeds faster than 217 mph.
That may be unnecessary for your morning commute, but hey, sometimes you wanna sleep in late.

Mercedes-Benz GLEDon’t Buy Warning.
Chris and Veronica Jovanovski bought a brand new Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 for $113,000 in late February this year. Everything went just fine until the 6th of June - when the car just stopped in the outside lane of the Princes Highway in thick traffic, on approach to a roundabout.
Two hours of traffic chaos later, with the two young kids in the car - very stressful, I’m sure - the tow truck arrives and the Jovanovskis get the hell out of there.
If that was the end of the story, you wouldn’t be watching this report. Cars break down. All brands have problems - isolated incidents happen all the time. But what happened next is a front-row seat in car owner hell for the Jovanovski family.
The GLE failed in exactly the same way again three days later. Then two days after that, then two days after that, then three days later. Then it lulled the Jovanovskis into a false sense of security by waiting four whole days before shitting itself the next time.
Then eight-days of failure-free driving went by, before the GLE again went poopy in its engine control ECU’s underpants. Then almost a fortnight. In total the Jovanovski’s lemon-scented GLE failed eight times.
On five of those occasions - including one memorable three-hour stranding in the forest in Canberra with the kids, in the middle of winter, 20 minutes’ drive from the nearest mobile reception, the car just sits there dead for two hours and then decides it’ll re-start.
On the other three occasions, it gets towed to a dealer. In total, two different dealers and a Mercedes-Benz head office technician have attempted to fix the problem, each claiming success. And then … Groundhog Day.
At this point, the car’s been off the road for almost three months, with the Jovanovskis dutifully making their lease payments on this car they either don’t actually have, or which might shit itself at any moment. That’s not what they signed up for.
If this was a friggin’ toaster, not even a Smeg, just any old toaster, you’d be back to the retailer before this, demanding your money back. And you’d get it. So here’s the newsflash - the law doesn’t think cars are any different to toasters, but those arrogant arseholes at Mercedes-Benz (this is a reference to the corporate culture, not individuals within it) … they seem to think the law does not apply to their cars.
Every breakdown is three to four hours of abject inconvenience for the Jovanovskis - missing the music lessons, the soccer practice, whatever. Driving on the edge, because the car might just not restart after automatically shutting itself down at a red light. This experience is not in the brochure.
So, Mr Jovanovski is over it. He wants the car gone. Complete lack of confidence in it. Hard to blame him for that. The dealer tells him they’re trying to work something out with head office. Head office - when Mr Jovanovski enquired - twice - basically brushes him back to the dealer. ‘You’re not our customer - this is between you and the dealer.’
Last time I contacted Mercedes-Benz in Australia on behalf of a customer, the [LOOKLEFT] … ahhhh … colourful company apologist David McCarthy told me:
“Any and all future customer concerns should be directed to our customer assistance team on 1300 730 200.”
Mercedes-Benz promises (quote): “the best or nothing”. But my favourite is the Benz claim that the GLE will (quote): “Bring intelligent light to darkness.”
Although clearly this light/darkness transformation did not in fact occur for the Jovanovskis.
Chris Jovanovski says: “This whole ordeal has been totally frustrating and totally unexpected and unacceptable from Mercedes and a $113,000 car. It has caused us a great amount of inconvenience and negative impact on my family, not to mention the anxiety we get when we get into the car, and the stress financially as we are paying for a car that we cannot use, and in which we have no confidence.”
To Mercedes-Benz I’d suggest that this fiction you craft around the three-pointed star suffers the death of a thousand cuts every time the truth gets out about your under-done engineering, the North korean-style customer support and your arrogant non-compliance with fundamental consumer law obligations.
To you, in the market for a GLE right now, I’d say: BMW X5 is looking pretty good. At the very least I think you’ll find it gives you more opportunity to exude assurance, and turn darkness into light. Or even a Lexus. Buying a premium car is not all about the badge - it’s also about the management of risk - as the Jovanovskis know today, painfully, only too well.
I hope this report helps you make an informed choice about buying your next premium GermanSUV.

You’re not really thinking about buying a Mercedes-Benz CLA, are you? Seriously?
In this report: one owner speaks out on what it’s really like to own the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 ShootingBrake. Incredible. Such a gap between the promise in the marketing and the reality of ownership.
John Vanderzee is that unhappy owner … let’s call him ‘Mr Zee’ henceforth. He won’t mind. His e-mail to me was, seemingly, 100 feet long. Trust me - 100-foot-long e-mails are never glowing fonts of feel-good-ness.
Let’s detain ourselves momentarily with the vast emotional gymnastics here. The ‘about-face’ between the elation buying a $75,000 Benz, and the cascade of unsatisfactory events that lead to writing a horrible bastard like me a 100-foot email under the rubric of ‘gross dissatisfaction’. See if you think this represents the bipolar opposite of post-purchase euphoria:
“The car has spent at least two month at the dealer’s workshop out of the 10 months that we have had it and still no end to the saga. If we had known about the trouble that we have had to endure, we would never have bought the car. Do you know what the best thing we can do? Are they any lemon laws that can help us?”
Buying a Benz is - for many people - the ultimate automotive aspiration. Mercedes-Benz even bills itself as (quote) “the best, or nothing”. (There’s definitely no collective insecurity lurking behind the three-pointed star.)
Mercedes-Benz describes the CLA as (quote): “singular” and “unconforming”. The company says the interior is a (quote) “VIP area”. Mercedes further glowingly alleges (cue the vomit bag; quote) “Even Mother Nature is applauding”.
You could buy a very nice Lexus IS200t F Sport for exactly the same cash. Statistically, I never get complaints from Lexus owners. Lexus looks after its customers, overwhelmingly. And my experience is I get very few complaints about BMW, and when I do, shit happens. A frown turns upside-down.
That’s not the case with Mercedes.
On the CLA - fundamentally, it’s got everything you want in a premium Mercedes-Benz … such as being made in Hungary, and being front-wheel drive. According to Consumer Reports in the US, when it was released, the CLA was (quote) “actually 140 per cent worse than the average car” (unquote) - that’s in relation to its reliability, and it accounted for one of the main reasons why Mercedes-Benz plummeted to 24th spot from 14th in Consumer Reports’ reliability survey in that year.
People accuse me - routinely - of being biased against Mercedes-Benz. I repudiate that claim unreservedly. But I am very biased. I’m strenuously anti-shitbox, emphatically against poor customer support, pathologically opposed to bullshit, and, being an engineer, I’m appalled by bad design. If I don’t recommend a particular brand or car, that bias is informed by these fundamentals - not the brand.
Here’s what John Zee told me about his CLA:
“The car is unsafe, unreliable, and devalued as a result of their incompetence with a bad service history. It was bought as a promotional vehicle but it has been a letdown. We had to meet clients on the day it had to be towed away. It has been an embarrassment to potential clients who were with us when we had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck to arrive. Business is suffering as a result. It is not fit for the purpose it was purchased for.”
Mr Zee is somewhat angry because his $75,000 CLA is an unreliable shitheap. He’s also somewhat angry because of the ongoing incompetence in the service department. But the majority of his opprobrium is fuelled not because of these two factors, but because these things are occurring - and the car is a Mercedes-Benz.
That’s the credibility gap - between the promise and the delivery. It’s the Wonderbra effect … ultimately there’s a flop, and you just feel deflated. Mercedes-Benz is at the Wonderbra crossroads.
When you dare to scrawl the words ‘the best or nothing’ under your logo, the product and the way you support it sure as shit had better be the best. Because it’s a long way down from that pinnacle.
If that slogan is just bullshit - empty rhetoric - owners will quickly become anti-ambassadors. And anti-ambassadors inevitably reach out to people like me, here in the sewer. And then I’m going to reach out to 1.2 million people like you, every month. Because you need to know, and Mercedes-Benz needs to have its dirty laundry oxygenated.
If I were you, John Zee’s experience would serve as a warning, just in case you were thinking about striding purposefully towards the nearest Benz dealer, and intending to slap $75 grand of your own money on the counter any time soon.

VisionMercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First LookLast year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof
Last year, Mercedes wowed us all with an electric coupe concept it called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. While the name was a bit of a clunker, everything else about it was pure elegance. It was nearly 19 feet long, almost all hood, and rode in silence thanks to its electric powertrain. The Vision 6 is back at Pebble Beach this year, this time without its roof.
In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who’s driving. Instead of last year’s red, it’s been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels. Rims that size would look massive on most other cars, but the Vision 6 Cabriolet is so impossibly long, it actu...

Physics is something that is directly applicable to car safety. Cars go fast, but they also sometimes collide with obstacles, which brings them to a sudden stop, subjecting the car and occupants to very high accelerations, which can cause injury or death. So the major idea to improve car safety is to reduce these accelerations and there are a number of ways to do this:

Woman poses with new Mercedes on Instagram then crashes into cyclist in DUI hit-and-run - TomoNews

COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA — A 22-year-old allegedly crashed her new Mercedes Benz into a cyclist in a DUI hit-and-run — just hours after she reportedly boasted about the car on Instagram.
According to the Orange County Register, the accident occurred around 11 p.m. in Costa Mesa when a cyclist was wounded after a car struck him. Police told the newspaper that the cyclist suffered leg wounds but was able to describe the car.
The cops reportedly tracked down the car, which belongs to Aya Ibish, a few blocks away and found it to have crash damage consistent with the accident. The cops say they performed a roadside sobriety check on Ibish, which we’re guessing she failed because she was later arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and felony DUI causing injury.
She called the car h...

VisionMercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First LookLast year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof
Last year, Mercedes wowed us all with an electric coupe concept it called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. While the name was a bit of a clunker, everything else about it was pure elegance. It was nearly 19 feet long, almost all hood, and rode in silence thanks to its electric powertrain. The Vision 6 is back at Pebble Beach this year, this time without its roof.
In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who’s driving. Instead of last year’s red, it’s been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels. Rims that size would look massive on most other cars, but the Vision 6 Cabriolet is so impossibly long, it actually makes 2 feet of wheel look appropriate. Of course, since this is a Maybach concept we’re talking about, the center lock is painted in rose gold. That’s not the only gold decorating the exterior, either. The fabric top also has rose gold threads woven in to match.
Inside, the driver is treated to what Mercedes calls a “360° open-air luxury lounge.” As you can see, the cabin is designed to flow around the occupants, wrapping them in luxury. There aren’t even really separate seats. Instead, the driver’s door panel almost seamlessly transitions into the seat bottom, then into the armrest, the passenger seat, and finally the passenger door panel. And there’s no infotainment screen integrated into the dash, either. Instead, the display is part of a strip that encircles the cabin. The dials and air conditioning vents contrast with the rest of the futuristic interior, using analog needles and classic design cues.
There’s also a sea of white Nappa leather covering almost every surface you might touch. The buttons used to secure the leather to the seats, for example, each have a Mercedes star on them backlit in blue. Oh, and of course the trim pieces are made from rose gold. The floor is covered in open-pore wood and inlaid aluminum to continue the boat theme that the car’s massive length and shape started. The transparent center tunnel, meanwhile, uses blue fiber optics to remind occupants that they’re in an electric land yacht from the future.
Speaking of the Vision 6 Cabriolet’s electric powertrain, it’s even more powerful than the coupe. Instead of 738 hp, it now makes a full 750 hp. Despite the car’s incredible size, Mercedes says that’s enough to hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. It also has a claimed range of more than 200 miles and supposedly gains 60 miles of range on only a five-minute charge.
Interior: 360° open-air luxury lounge
With the luxurious interior of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz demonstrates a new synthesis of intelligence and emotion. At the same time, the designers have combined the unique tradition of the brand with a previously unknown high-tech experience.
The generous, flowing design idiom brings exterior and interior together in a holistic design. The formal flow of the areas from the rear into the interior gives rise to a typical yacht feeling. A light wing flows in a curve across the door trim and the center tunnel into the seat landscape, creating a 360° open-air luxury lounge.
The new "inside out" spatial design adds a particularly special feature. The sitting surface forms a horizontal plane, transitions into the vertical plane of the doors and finally becomes the underside of the dashboard wing.
In addition to the flowing contours, the material composition produces a luxury experience of the highest order. Here, too, the interplay of the contrasts is both hot and cool. The brand's hallmark authentic materials and colors are used, such as rose gold on the trim elements, or the surfaces which come into contact with the skin, featuring a lavish, quilted crystal white nappa leather finish. In this luxury technique, familiar among other things from Chesterfield furniture, the leather is put into folds in a diamond pattern and secured to the frame with buttons. In the case of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, this traditional seat upholstery boasts a futuristic interpretation: each individual button of the quilting depicts a delicate Mercedes star, backlit in blue. The open-pore wood floor with inlaid aluminum underscores the lounge sensation and the connection to yachting.

I got to drive the world's first car (replica), patented by Benz in 1886
Check out the series on new safety features: http://ve42.co/MB
This video is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, who invited me to come to Stuttgart to see their latest cars, crash test facilities and experience the innovations they are working on.
Physics is something that is directly applicable to car safety. Cars go fast, but they also sometimes collide with obstacles, which brings them to a sudden stop, subjecting the car and occupants to very high accelerations, which can cause injury or death. So the major idea to improve car safety is to reduce these accelerations and there are a number of ways to do this:
Passive safety:
Seat belts: keep passengers in the vehicle, preventing them from continuing with constant velocity, flying through the windshield and suffering a worse deceleration when they make contact with the road.
Crumple zones: increase the distance over which deceleration occurs, thereby reducing peak magnitude of deceleration.
Air bags: increase the distance over which the head decelerates, again reducing peak magnitude of deceleration of the head.
Active Safety:
Anti-lock braking system: rather than 'locking' the wheels as can happen if you slam on the brakes with a traditional braking system leading to the tires skidding across the road, ABS attempts to control the amount of braking so that the tires always roll with static friction in contact with the road. This increases the backward frictional force that can be applied to the tires, again increasing the distance over which deceleration occurs, and it gives the driver an opportunity to steer to avoid the collision (hence why it's referred to as an active safety system).
Special thanks to Mercedes for having me visit facilities in Stuttgart. I had a lot of fun making these videos so please do check out the series on Mercedes Benz's channel: http://ve42.co/MB

COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA — A 22-year-old allegedly crashed her new Mercedes Benz into a cyclist in a DUI hit-and-run — just hours after she reportedly boasted about the car on Instagram.
According to the Orange County Register, the accident occurred around 11 p.m. in Costa Mesa when a cyclist was wounded after a car struck him. Police told the newspaper that the cyclist suffered leg wounds but was able to describe the car.
The cops reportedly tracked down the car, which belongs to Aya Ibish, a few blocks away and found it to have crash damage consistent with the accident. The cops say they performed a roadside sobriety check on Ibish, which we’re guessing she failed because she was later arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and felony DUI causing injury.
She called the car her “new pride and joy” in the now deleted Instagram post, notes an Google Translated article on Autoblog.nl, a Dutch car site that appears to be the only news site to have saved the photo of Ibish with the Mercedes before her post was deleted

2017 Mercedes E-ClassCrashTest - Better than five stars
The E-Class's occupant safety, child safety, pedestrian protection and assistance systems have been awarded a five-star EuroNCAP rating. The Saloon was a particularly deserving recipient of this top rating since in the crash tests in all four categories it significantly outperformed the standard required by Euro NCAP in order to attain the top score of five stars.
CategoryResult E-Class Five-star cut-off
Occupant safety 95% 80%
Child safety 90% 75%
Pedestrian protection 77% 60%
Assistance systems 62% 50%
The E-Class Saloon also achieved two Euro NCAP "Advanced" awards for PRE‑SAFE® and ATTENTION ASSIST – both awards go beyond the star rating and underline particular safety innovations.
The E-Class Saloon owes these impressive results primarily to the combination of its high-strength passenger safety cell with highly effective restraint systems and the large number of driver assistance systems on board. Active Brake Assist, for example, is a standard feature. It is able to warn the driver of impending collisions, provide support with emergency braking and, if necessary, apply the brakes autonomously. Likewise included as standard are ATTENTION ASSIST with adjustable sensitivity, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness, and Crosswind Assist.
Other driver assistance systems are available as an option, including DRIVEPILOT, which marks a further milestone on the road to automated driving, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function. Some of these optional systems, however, have not yet been taken into consideration in the Euro NCAP assessment.
Active and passive safety are intelligently combined with the PRE-SAFE® system, which is able to recognise critical situations on the road and, where there is the threat of an accident, trigger preventive measures to protect the occupants. PRE‑SAFE® ImpulseSide is available as an option for the E-Class for the first time. If it detects the immediate threat of a lateral collision, this new subsystem is able to move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone as a preventive measure, effectively creating a virtual crumple zone for the side of the vehicle. Another new feature is the standard PRE-SAFE® Sound system. Immediately before a collision it can trigger a natural protective reflex in the ear, preparing the occupants for the noise of the accident in order to reduce potential damage to their hearing.
Mercedes-Benz takes the protection of more vulnerable road users such as children very seriously. This also applies to pedestrians and cyclists. The E-Class Saloon features an active bonnet which can be raised 80 millimetres during an impact to provide additional deformation space. In addition Active Brake Assist is not only able to recognise slow-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles but also pedestrians crossing in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and can brake autonomously to prevent a collision with a pedestrian. With features such as these, the E-Class's impressive pedestrian protection standards far exceed statutory requirements.
The E-Class Saloon's success in the Euro NCAP rating is the result of Mercedes‑Benz's holistic safety philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on rating requirements, the company uses findings from its own accident research to develop internal test standards and test criteria that go beyond what is required by law.

Those arrogant cocks at Mercedes-Benz: Unbelievable. How would you expect to be treated, as an S-Class owner?

Those arrogant cocks at Mercedes-Benz: Unbelievable. How would you expect to be treated, as an S-Class owner?

This is a report about corporate arseholes, arrogance and audacity; about the apparent presumption that selling the three-pointed star means you just don’t have to comply with Australian Consumer Law. It’s about regulatory soft-cockedness, too, if that’s a word, and the disconnection between the prick-tease promise of marketing and the grim reality of ownership. It’s why the Mercedes-Benz brand will continue to be little more than an A-grade confidence trick in Australia in 2017, and a soft target in my jihad on bullshit.
Two weeks before Christmas, a Perth-based Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner named Jan Gunnink contacted me. Mr Gunnink’s S-Class suffered an engine mount failure, causing the vehicle to vibrate severely. He wrote:
“This is for a 2011 S-Class that has travelled only 48,000km. The cost of repairs will be $1300. Still waiting for the engine mount as none of them are in Australia. The dealership told me it is out of warranty and they made a GOODWILL request with the importer, but Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific refused. Not good enough for a $250,000 car. Where do I go from here?”
Three weeks later Mr Gunnink got back to me after making independent representations to Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific. Here’s part of their response:
“...MBAuP is unable to accede to your request to cover the cost associated to your vehicle’s repairs. We recognise you may remain dissatisfied with this outcome as we are unable to meet your expectations. We hope that you will understand that whilst we wish to retain all existing customers and provide the highest level of aftersales case, MBAuP is unable to cover all operating expenses beyond the manufacturer’s warranty terms and condition.”
Watch the report to find out why this is an epic failure.

Mercedes-Benz GLEDon’t Buy Warning.
Chris and Veronica Jovanovski bought a brand new Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 for $113,000 in late February this year. Everything went just fine until the 6th of June - when the car just stopped in the outside lane of the Princes Highway in thick traffic, on approach to a roundabout.
Two hours of traffic chaos later, with the two young kids in the car - very stressful, I’m sure - the tow truck arrives and the Jovanovskis get the hell out of there.
If that was the end of the story, you wouldn’t be watching this report. Cars break down. All brands have problems - isolated incidents happen all the time. But what happened next is a front-row seat in car owner hell for the Jovanovski family.
The GLE failed in exactly the same way again three days later. Then two days after that, then two days after that, then three days later. Then it lulled the Jovanovskis into a false sense of security by waiting four whole days before shitting itself the next time.
Then eight-days of failure-free driving went by, before the GLE again went poopy in its engine control ECU’s underpants. Then almost a fortnight. In total the Jovanovski’s lemon-scented GLE failed eight times.
On five of those occasions - including one memorable three-hour stranding in the forest in Canberra with the kids, in the middle of winter, 20 minutes’ drive from the nearest mobile reception, the car just sits there dead for two hours and then decides it’ll re-start.
On the other three occasions, it gets towed to a dealer. In total, two different dealers and a Mercedes-Benz head office technician have attempted to fix the problem, each claiming success. And then … Groundhog Day.
At this point, the car’s been off the road for almost three months, with the Jovanovskis dutifully making their lease payments on this car they either don’t actually have, or which might shit itself at any moment. That’s not what they signed up for.
If this was a friggin’ toaster, not even a Smeg, just any old toaster, you’d be back to the retailer before this, demanding your money back. And you’d get it. So here’s the newsflash - the law doesn’t think cars are any different to toasters, but those arrogant arseholes at Mercedes-Benz (this is a reference to the corporate culture, not individuals within it) … they seem to think the law does not apply to their cars.
Every breakdown is three to four hours of abject inconvenience for the Jovanovskis - missing the music lessons, the soccer practice, whatever. Driving on the edge, because the car might just not restart after automatically shutting itself down at a red light. This experience is not in the brochure.
So, Mr Jovanovski is over it. He wants the car gone. Complete lack of confidence in it. Hard to blame him for that. The dealer tells him they’re trying to work something out with head office. Head office - when Mr Jovanovski enquired - twice - basically brushes him back to the dealer. ‘You’re not our customer - this is between you and the dealer.’
Last time I contacted Mercedes-Benz in Australia on behalf of a customer, the [LOOKLEFT] … ahhhh … colourful company apologist David McCarthy told me:
“Any and all future customer concerns should be directed to our customer assistance team on 1300 730 200.”
Mercedes-Benz promises (quote): “the best or nothing”. But my favourite is the Benz claim that the GLE will (quote): “Bring intelligent light to darkness.”
Although clearly this light/darkness transformation did not in fact occur for the Jovanovskis.
Chris Jovanovski says: “This whole ordeal has been totally frustrating and totally unexpected and unacceptable from Mercedes and a $113,000 car. It has caused us a great amount of inconvenience and negative impact on my family, not to mention the anxiety we get when we get into the car, and the stress financially as we are paying for a car that we cannot use, and in which we have no confidence.”
To Mercedes-Benz I’d suggest that this fiction you craft around the three-pointed star suffers the death of a thousand cuts every time the truth gets out about your under-done engineering, the North korean-style customer support and your arrogant non-compliance with fundamental consumer law obligations.
To you, in the market for a GLE right now, I’d say: BMW X5 is looking pretty good. At the very least I think you’ll find it gives you more opportunity to exude assurance, and turn darkness into light. Or even a Lexus. Buying a premium car is not all about the badge - it’s also about the management of risk - as the Jovanovskis know today, painfully, only too well.
I hope this report helps you make an informed choice about buying your next premium GermanSUV.

Mercedes-Benz promises (quote): “the best or nothing”. But my favourite is the Benz claim that the GLE will (quote): “Bring intelligent light to darkness.”
Although clearly this light/darkness transformation did not in fact occur for the Jovanovskis.
Chris Jovanovski says: “This whole ordeal has been totally frustrating and totally unexpected and unacceptable from Mercedes and a $113,000 car. It has caused us a great amount of inconvenience and negative impact on my family, not to mention the anxiety we get when we get into the car, and the stress financially as we are paying for a car that we cannot use, and in which we have no confidence.”
To Mercedes-Benz I’d suggest that this fiction you craft around the three-pointed star suffers the death of a thousand cuts every time the truth gets out about your under-done engineering, the North korean-style customer support and your arrogant non-compliance with fundamental consumer law obligations.
To you, in the market for a GLE right now, I’d say: BMW X5 is looking pretty good. At the very least I think you’ll find it gives you more opportunity to exude assurance, and turn darkness into light. Or even a Lexus. Buying a premium car is not all about the badge - it’s also about the management of risk - as the Jovanovskis know today, painfully, only too well.
I hope this report helps you make an informed choice about buying your next premium GermanSUV.

You’re not really thinking about buying a Mercedes-Benz CLA, are you? Seriously?
In this report: one owner speaks out on what it’s really like to own the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 ShootingBrake. Incredible. Such a gap between the promise in the marketing and the reality of ownership.
John Vanderzee is that unhappy owner … let’s call him ‘Mr Zee’ henceforth. He won’t mind. His e-mail to me was, seemingly, 100 feet long. Trust me - 100-foot-long e-mails are never glowing fonts of feel-good-ness.
Let’s detain ourselves momentarily with the vast emotional gymnastics here. The ‘about-face’ between the elation buying a $75,000 Benz, and the cascade of unsatisfactory events that lead to writing a horrible bastard like me a 100-foot email under the rubric of ‘gross dissatisfaction’. See if you think this represents the bipolar opposite of post-purchase euphoria:
“The car has spent at least two month at the dealer’s workshop out of the 10 months that we have had it and still no end to the saga. If we had known about the trouble that we have had to endure, we would never have bought the car. Do you know what the best thing we can do? Are they any lemon laws that can help us?”
Buying a Benz is - for many people - the ultimate automotive aspiration. Mercedes-Benz even bills itself as (quote) “the best, or nothing”. (There’s definitely no collective insecurity lurking behind the three-pointed star.)
Mercedes-Benz describes the CLA as (quote): “singular” and “unconforming”. The company says the interior is a (quote) “VIP area”. Mercedes further glowingly alleges (cue the vomit bag; quote) “Even Mother Nature is applauding”.
You could buy a very nice Lexus IS200t F Sport for exactly the same cash. Statistically, I never get complaints from Lexus owners. Lexus looks after its customers, overwhelmingly. And my experience is I get very few complaints about BMW, and when I do, shit happens. A frown turns upside-down.
That’s not the case with Mercedes.
On the CLA - fundamentally, it’s got everything you want in a premium Mercedes-Benz … such as being made in Hungary, and being front-wheel drive. According to Consumer Reports in the US, when it was released, the CLA was (quote) “actually 140 per cent worse than the average car” (unquote) - that’s in relation to its reliability, and it accounted for one of the main reasons why Mercedes-Benz plummeted to 24th spot from 14th in Consumer Reports’ reliability survey in that year.
People accuse me - routinely - of being biased against Mercedes-Benz. I repudiate that claim unreservedly. But I am very biased. I’m strenuously anti-shitbox, emphatically against poor customer support, pathologically opposed to bullshit, and, being an engineer, I’m appalled by bad design. If I don’t recommend a particular brand or car, that bias is informed by these fundamentals - not the brand.
Here’s what John Zee told me about his CLA:
“The car is unsafe, unreliable, and devalued as a result of their incompetence with a bad service history. It was bought as a promotional vehicle but it has been a letdown. We had to meet clients on the day it had to be towed away. It has been an embarrassment to potential clients who were with us when we had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck to arrive. Business is suffering as a result. It is not fit for the purpose it was purchased for.”
Mr Zee is somewhat angry because his $75,000 CLA is an unreliable shitheap. He’s also somewhat angry because of the ongoing incompetence in the service department. But the majority of his opprobrium is fuelled not because of these two factors, but because these things are occurring - and the car is a Mercedes-Benz.
That’s the credibility gap - between the promise and the delivery. It’s the Wonderbra effect … ultimately there’s a flop, and you just feel deflated. Mercedes-Benz is at the Wonderbra crossroads.
When you dare to scrawl the words ‘the best or nothing’ under your logo, the product and the way you support it sure as shit had better be the best. Because it’s a long way down from that pinnacle.
If that slogan is just bullshit - empty rhetoric - owners will quickly become anti-ambassadors. And anti-ambassadors inevitably reach out to people like me, here in the sewer. And then I’m going to reach out to 1.2 million people like you, every month. Because you need to know, and Mercedes-Benz needs to have its dirty laundry oxygenated.
If I were you, John Zee’s experience would serve as a warning, just in case you were thinking about striding purposefully towards the nearest Benz dealer, and intending to slap $75 grand of your own money on the counter any time soon.

Throughout the video you will hear me say RWOL (RuleWithout Law) instead of WROL (Without Rule of Law), MY MISTAKE first time I made a video like this (was nervous trying to remember everything).
This is a video about my opinion on the best CENTER FIRE SEMI-AUTO rifle to pick in terms of a future SHTF situation. I say "battle" rifle in the begining but because of technicalities in definition, that bothers some individuals. So I have called it semi-auto in the title to be fair, but I dont include non-battle proven rifles (like ruger rifles and such( AC556 was still not that successful)) because they are not battle proven rifle types and designs for war.

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Mercedes-Benz last put the world's luxury-car peddlers on notice with its new-for-2014-model-year, W222-generation S-Class. It featured automated parking, Magic Body Control air suspension with RoadSurface Scan, six programmable seat massages, and automatic perfume dispensing. BMW was first to parry with its new-for-2015 G11/12-generation 7 Series, which failed to unseat the mighty Merc in a 2016 Head-2-Head. Recently, Audi let us drive its spanking-new A8, dubbed MLB64. It goes on sale soon in Europe, but U.S. sales start next fall. Can the 6,500 part revisions made to this midcycle S-Class refresh keep the competition at bay

Simon FrancisMann (born 26 June 1952) is a British mercenary and former British Army officer. He served part of a 34-year prison sentence in Equatorial Guinea for his role in a failed coup d'état in 2004, before receiving a presidential pardon on humanitarian grounds on 2 November 2009.
Mann was extradited from Zimbabwe to Equatorial Guinea on 1 February 2008, having been accused of planning a coup d'état to overthrow the government by leading a mercenary force into the capital Malabo in an effort to overthrow PresidentTeodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. Charges in South Africa of aiding a coup in a foreign country were dropped on 23 February2007, but the charges remained in Equatorial Guinea, where he had been convicted in absentia in November 2004. He lost an extradition hearing to Equatorial Guinea after serving three years of a four-year prison sentence in Zimbabwe for the same crimes and being released early on good behaviour.
Upon Mann's arrival in Equatorial Guinea for his trial in Malabo, public Prosecutor Jose Olo Obono said that Mann would face three charges – crimes against the head of state, crimes against the government, and crimes against the peace and independence of the state. On 7 July 2008, he was sentenced to 34 years and four months in prison by a Malabo court. He was released on 2 November 2009, on humanitarian grounds.

***PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION***
Read paragraph 3....at least.
Must have annotations on!
Throughout the video you will hear me say RWOL (RuleWithout Law) instead of WROL (Without Rule of Law), MY MISTAKE first time I made a video like this (was nervous trying to remember everything).
This is a video about my opinion on the best CENTER FIRE SEMI-AUTO rifle to pick in terms of a future SHTF situation. I say "battle" rifle in the begining but because of technicalities in definition, that bothers some individuals. So I have called it semi-auto in the title to be fair, but I dont include non-battle proven rifles (like ruger rifles and such( AC556 was still not that successful)) because they are not battle proven rifle types and designs for war. The have mechanisms based off of the some rifles but still cant include them because it did not fit my criteria. But that doesn't means it is not good, it can be your rifle of choice. All rifles have their strengths but after compiling some information one of them ultimately can better than the other (but where one lacks another picks it up and vice versa).
READ THIS --- IN MY OPINION! At the end I tell you which caliber actually wins it and then I go in to my personal opinion because I have a differrent view point of how SHTF may go down. I dont base my view point on post apoclyptic movies or shows like other people do. That is why my choice/opinion is what it is. I dont imagine an all out war with your neighbors. Also my choice/opinion is from a bug in perspective, not really a "Im gonna run around with a gun and have gun fights all day".

Mercedes-Benz last put the world's luxury-car peddlers on notice with its new-for-2014-model-year, W222-generation S-Class. It featured automated parking, Magic Body Control air suspension with RoadSurface Scan, six programmable seat massages, and automatic perfume dispensing. BMW was first to parry with its new-for-2015 G11/12-generation 7 Series, which failed to unseat the mighty Merc in a 2016 Head-2-Head. Recently, Audi let us drive its spanking-new A8, dubbed MLB64. It goes on sale soon in Europe, but U.S. sales start next fall. Can the 6,500 part revisions made to this midcycle S-Class refresh keep the competition at bay
Thanks for watching! Give me a thumbs up if you want to see more!
Thank you so much for being excited to live life together! I will be doing daily videos just for all of you here.

VisionMercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First LookLast year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof
Last year, Mercedes wowed us all with an electric coupe concept it called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. While the name was a bit of a clunker, everything else about it was pure elegance. It was nearly 19 feet long, almost all hood, and rode in silence thanks to its electric powertrain. The Vision 6 is back at Pebble Beach this year, this time without its roof.
In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who’s driving. Instead of last year’s red, it’s been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels. Rims that size would look massive on most other cars, but the Vision 6 Cabriolet is so impossibly long, it actually makes 2 feet of wheel look appropriate. Of course, since this is a Maybach concept we’re talking about, the center lock is painted in rose gold. That’s not the only gold decorating the exterior, either. The fabric top also has rose gold threads woven in to match.
Inside, the driver is treated to what Mercedes calls a “360° open-air luxury lounge.” As you can see, the cabin is designed to flow around the occupants, wrapping them in luxury. There aren’t even really separate seats. Instead, the driver’s door panel almost seamlessly transitions into the seat bottom, then into the armrest, the passenger seat, and finally the passenger door panel. And there’s no infotainment screen integrated into the dash, either. Instead, the display is part of a strip that encircles the cabin. The dials and air conditioning vents contrast with the rest of the futuristic interior, using analog needles and classic design cues.
There’s also a sea of white Nappa leather covering almost every surface you might touch. The buttons used to secure the leather to the seats, for example, each have a Mercedes star on them backlit in blue. Oh, and of course the trim pieces are made from rose gold. The floor is covered in open-pore wood and inlaid aluminum to continue the boat theme that the car’s massive length and shape started. The transparent center tunnel, meanwhile, uses blue fiber optics to remind occupants that they’re in an electric land yacht from the future.
Speaking of the Vision 6 Cabriolet’s electric powertrain, it’s even more powerful than the coupe. Instead of 738 hp, it now makes a full 750 hp. Despite the car’s incredible size, Mercedes says that’s enough to hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. It also has a claimed range of more than 200 miles and supposedly gains 60 miles of range on only a five-minute charge.
Interior: 360° open-air luxury lounge
With the luxurious interior of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz demonstrates a new synthesis of intelligence and emotion. At the same time, the designers have combined the unique tradition of the brand with a previously unknown high-tech experience.
The generous, flowing design idiom brings exterior and interior together in a holistic design. The formal flow of the areas from the rear into the interior gives rise to a typical yacht feeling. A light wing flows in a curve across the door trim and the center tunnel into the seat landscape, creating a 360° open-air luxury lounge.
The new "inside out" spatial design adds a particularly special feature. The sitting surface forms a horizontal plane, transitions into the vertical plane of the doors and finally becomes the underside of the dashboard wing.
In addition to the flowing contours, the material composition produces a luxury experience of the highest order. Here, too, the interplay of the contrasts is both hot and cool. The brand's hallmark authentic materials and colors are used, such as rose gold on the trim elements, or the surfaces which come into contact with the skin, featuring a lavish, quilted crystal white nappa leather finish. In this luxury technique, familiar among other things from Chesterfield furniture, the leather is put into folds in a diamond pattern and secured to the frame with buttons. In the case of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, this traditional seat upholstery boasts a futuristic interpretation: each individual button of the quilting depicts a delicate Mercedes star, backlit in blue. The open-pore wood floor with inlaid aluminum underscores the lounge sensation and the connection to yachting.

Check out the series on new safety features: http://ve42.co/MB
This video is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, who invited me to come to Stuttgart to see their latest cars, crash test facilities and experience the innovations they are working on.
Physics is something that is directly applicable to car safety. Cars go fast, but they also sometimes collide with obstacles, which brings them to a sudden stop, subjecting the car and occupants to very high accelerations, which can cause injury or death. So the major idea to improve car safety is to reduce these accelerations and there are a number of ways to do this:
Passive safety:
Seat belts: keep passengers in the vehicle, preventing them from continuing with constant velocity, flying through the windshield and suffering a worse deceleration when they make contact with the road.
Crumple zones: increase the distance over which deceleration occurs, thereby reducing peak magnitude of deceleration.
Air bags: increase the distance over which the head decelerates, again reducing peak magnitude of deceleration of the head.
Active Safety:
Anti-lock braking system: rather than 'locking' the wheels as can happen if you slam on the brakes with a traditional braking system leading to the tires skidding across the road, ABS attempts to control the amount of braking so that the tires always roll with static friction in contact with the road. This increases the backward frictional force that can be applied to the tires, again increasing the distance over which deceleration occurs, and it gives the driver an opportunity to steer to avoid the collision (hence why it's referred to as an active safety system).
Special thanks to Mercedes for having me visit facilities in Stuttgart. I had a lot of fun making these videos so please do check out the series on Mercedes Benz's channel: http://ve42.co/MB

Woman poses with new Mercedes on Instagram then crashes into cyclist in DUI hit-and-run - TomoNews

COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA — A 22-year-old allegedly crashed her new Mercedes Benz into a cyclist in a DUI hit-and-run — just hours after she reportedly boasted about the car on Instagram.
According to the Orange County Register, the accident occurred around 11 p.m. in Costa Mesa when a cyclist was wounded after a car struck him. Police told the newspaper that the cyclist suffered leg wounds but was able to describe the car.
The cops reportedly tracked down the car, which belongs to Aya Ibish, a few blocks away and found it to have crash damage consistent with the accident. The cops say they performed a roadside sobriety check on Ibish, which we’re guessing she failed because she was later arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and felony DUI causing injury.
She called the car her “new pride and joy” in the now deleted Instagram post, notes an Google Translated article on Autoblog.nl, a Dutch car site that appears to be the only news site to have saved the photo of Ibish with the Mercedes before her post was deleted

2017 Mercedes E-Class Crash Test - Better than 5 Stars

2017 Mercedes E-ClassCrashTest - Better than five stars
The E-Class's occupant safety, child safety, pedestrian protection and assistance systems have been awarded a five-star EuroNCAP rating. The Saloon was a particularly deserving recipient of this top rating since in the crash tests in all four categories it significantly outperformed the standard required by Euro NCAP in order to attain the top score of five stars.
CategoryResult E-Class Five-star cut-off
Occupant safety 95% 80%
Child safety 90% 75%
Pedestrian protection 77% 60%
Assistance systems 62% 50%
The E-Class Saloon also achieved two Euro NCAP "Advanced" awards for PRE‑SAFE® and ATTENTION ASSIST – both awards go beyond the star rating and underline particular safety innovations.
The E-Class Saloon owes these impressive results primarily to the combination of its high-strength passenger safety cell with highly effective restraint systems and the large number of driver assistance systems on board. Active Brake Assist, for example, is a standard feature. It is able to warn the driver of impending collisions, provide support with emergency braking and, if necessary, apply the brakes autonomously. Likewise included as standard are ATTENTION ASSIST with adjustable sensitivity, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness, and Crosswind Assist.
Other driver assistance systems are available as an option, including DRIVEPILOT, which marks a further milestone on the road to automated driving, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function. Some of these optional systems, however, have not yet been taken into consideration in the Euro NCAP assessment.
Active and passive safety are intelligently combined with the PRE-SAFE® system, which is able to recognise critical situations on the road and, where there is the threat of an accident, trigger preventive measures to protect the occupants. PRE‑SAFE® ImpulseSide is available as an option for the E-Class for the first time. If it detects the immediate threat of a lateral collision, this new subsystem is able to move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone as a preventive measure, effectively creating a virtual crumple zone for the side of the vehicle. Another new feature is the standard PRE-SAFE® Sound system. Immediately before a collision it can trigger a natural protective reflex in the ear, preparing the occupants for the noise of the accident in order to reduce potential damage to their hearing.
Mercedes-Benz takes the protection of more vulnerable road users such as children very seriously. This also applies to pedestrians and cyclists. The E-Class Saloon features an active bonnet which can be raised 80 millimetres during an impact to provide additional deformation space. In addition Active Brake Assist is not only able to recognise slow-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles but also pedestrians crossing in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and can brake autonomously to prevent a collision with a pedestrian. With features such as these, the E-Class's impressive pedestrian protection standards far exceed statutory requirements.
The E-Class Saloon's success in the Euro NCAP rating is the result of Mercedes‑Benz's holistic safety philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on rating requirements, the company uses findings from its own accident research to develop internal test standards and test criteria that go beyond what is required by law.

Headshot Battle Series Merc Vs Facial The Fever

Young Bob brings us Battle # 2 of the Headshot Battle Series Merc against Facial The Fever...

Those arrogant cocks at Mercedes-Benz: Unbelievable. How would you expect to be treated, as an S-Class owner?
http://autoexpert.com.au/buying-a-car/mercedes-benz-bs-class
This is a report about corporate arseholes, arrogance and audacity; about the apparent presumption that selling the three-pointed star means you just don’t have to comply with Australian Consumer Law. It’s about regulatory soft-cockedness, too, if that’s a word, and the disconnection between the prick-tease promise of marketing and the grim reality of ownership. It’s why the Mercedes-Benz brand will continue to be little more than an A-grade confidence trick in Australia in 2017, and a soft target in my jihad on bullshit.
Two weeks before Christmas, a Perth-based Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner named Jan Gunnink contacted me. Mr Gunnink’s S-Class suffered an engine mount failure, causing the vehicle to vibrate severely. He wrote:
“This is for a 2011 S-Class that has travelled only 48,000km. The cost of repairs will be $1300. Still waiting for the engine mount as none of them are in Australia. The dealership told me it is out of warranty and they made a GOODWILL request with the importer, but Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific refused. Not good enough for a $250,000 car. Where do I go from here?”
Three weeks later Mr Gunnink got back to me after making independent representations to Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific. Here’s part of their response:
“...MBAuP is unable to accede to your request to cover the cost associated to your vehicle’s repairs. We recognise you may remain dissatisfied with this outcome as we are unable to meet your expectations. We hope that you will understand that whilst we wish to retain all existing customers and provide the highest level of aftersales case, MBAuP is unable to cover all operating expenses beyond the manufacturer’s warranty terms and condition.”
Watch the report to find out why this is an epic failure.

Mercedes-AMG's new F1 car is officially street legal.
The Project One can hit 124 mph in less than six seconds. When the car hits the market in 2020, it'll cost $2.7 million when.
Project One is built around a hybrid electric and gas engine that utilizes technology from championship F1 cars. It has more than 1,000 horsepower and can reach speeds faster than 217 mph.
That may be unnecessary for your morning commute, but hey, sometimes you wanna sleep in late.

A general distinction can be made between (a) civil lawjurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.

Simon FrancisMann (born 26 June 1952) is a British mercenary and former British Army officer. He served part of a 34-year prison sentence in Equatorial Guinea for his role in a failed coup d'état in 2004, before receiving a presidential pardon on humanitarian grounds on 2 November 2009.
Mann was extradited from Zimbabwe to Equatorial Guinea on 1 February 2008, having been accused of planning a coup d'état to overthrow the government by leading a mercenary force into the capital Malabo in an effort to overthrow PresidentTeodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. Charges in South Africa of aiding a coup in a foreign country were dropped on 23 February2007, but the charges remained in Equatorial Guinea, where he had been convicted in absentia in November 2004. He lost an extradition hearing to Equatorial Guinea after serving three years of a four-year prison sentence in Zimbabwe for the same crimes and being released early on good behaviour.
Upon Mann's arrival in Equatorial Guinea for his trial in Malabo, public Prosecutor Jose Olo Obono said that Mann would face three charges – crimes against the head of state, crimes against the government, and crimes against the peace and independence of the state. On 7 July 2008, he was sentenced to 34 years and four months in prison by a Malabo court. He was released on 2 November 2009, on humanitarian grounds.
